'''Iapetus Borgovda''' is a [[Magos]] of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]. A noted xeno-heirographologist, Borgovda was the senior [[Adept]] of the Mechanicus installation known as [[Orga Station]] on the planet [[Menatar]].{{Fn|1}}
Borgovda became head of Orga Station after deciphering records from a derelict ship of a sealed vault buried by [[Eldar]] [[Exodite]]s on Menatar. He was to present his findings directly to the [[Genetor|Genetor Biologis]] when he was contacted by Magos [[Serjus Altando]], who convinced Borgovda to instead work in concert with the [[Ordo Xenos]] by promising him 100% of the credit for the project.{{Fn|1}}
It transpired that the vault was actually a prison containing a [[Tyranid]] [[Specimen Six|vanguard organism]]. After excavating it, the Tyranid broke free and attacked the facility, forcing [[Kill Team Talon]] of the [[Deathwatch]] to intervene. After an attempt to subdue the creature so it could be taken alive, Talon were forced to kill it. Afterwards, Talon obliterated Orga Station, killing all of its personnel (including Borgovda), in order to eliminate any witnesses.{{Fn|1}}
